We were fishing main channel points. The largemouths were hitting in about 5' of water, close to the bank, just inside the cove from the point moreso than once we got farther into the coves. We'd start in the cove and work our way out to the point, and once we got to the point, I would go out into some deeper water, probably about 15', and that's when she'd switch to that crank bait and th white bass would start hitting. I would also say that between the two weekends we went, there was much more success with the finesse worm than with my worm texas rigged. I don't know what the proper name for it is, but we just used a small hook, put it thru the center of the worm, with no weight. Results were better probably to the tune of 3:1.

I just spent 3 days down there this last weekend. I actually signed up on this site because of this thread, wanted to thank Jack....we took his advice from his fishing report and it really helped. My girlfriend and I recently bought our first boat and are getting back into fishing, we both did a lot of it in our childhoods and teenage years. Anywhoo, we had great luck with largemouth last couple weekends on plastic worms. Green pumpkin I think is the color. She was using a finesse worm and I was using ones with swirly tails, Texas rigged. And as far as the white bass, she would switch to a Rapala crank bait, looked like a shad, she said it was about a 6' diver, and she was just tearing white bass up. Weren't eve particularly fishing for them. We were catching them off of points. Bass were hitting pretty well too. Caught a few in the 13-14" range, but almost as many in the 16-18" range. Not a big deal I realize for most, but understand i know so little about fishing, I'm lucky to know which end of my fishing pole is the end I hold on to lol This was on the niangua arm. Which was a neat experience as far as navigating in a an 18' boat and trying to fish, as Ive always stayed at condos on the 13mm of the main channel. That's a little rough on the weekends. Good luck!
